W7-X Plasma Ring earrings

A pair of earrings: the plasma of a fusion stellarator, as a pendant

Wendelstein 7-X, in Greifswald, holds its plasma with magnetic fields alone. The field lines wind around and around and never leave one twisted, five-fold surface. We took that surface from the published equilibrium and cast it.

The twisted plasma ring of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, computed from its real magnetic configuration. Inspired by the W7-X experiment in Greifswald; not an official IPP product. Scaled down, as a pair on stainless-steel ear hooks.
